Haha, no problem. I was the slowest of all 3 of us today, so I was just comparing what I had typed.

Hi players,

Just letting you know that I moved this back out of the News & Rumors archive. If things continue to chug along and you feel that a separate forum would be of more benefit (allowing for splitting of this thread, or starting new ones) just send me a message.

Does anyone here know how to fix those blurry photo's posted to the facebook? I know it's been done with every picture up until now.

I want to translate the letters on the pillow

The last 2 have been distorted/blurred differently than previous ones. I've been trying to work on it with various tweaks, but the doubling effect gets to me fast so I can't look at it long.

Alright well thanks for trying anyway. I've posted the blurry one to reddit anyway to see what we can get translated from it. It's worked with everything else so far.

That's great that it was found so quickly. It makes the green Japanese more clear now too.

Since it is a new day, perhaps it is worth being 'hardheaded' and trying the twitter message at the phone line again. There seems to be a trend of input numbers not yeilding results one day then working the next. It could be a time of day issue too since the PM seems to be in Australia. Still pondering the first half of it though.

Here's a fun page about Takarabe that came up by image searching WhatIsTruth's picture.

Is anyone able to pull a recording of the letters from the call? I don't have a means to call it myself unfortunately.

I'll do it in about an hour when I'm off work if no one does before then. I'll try and transcribe it too. Shouldn't take too long since it's letters.

EDIT: added recording of the call

EDIT2: TP/EMOBGXATW/NTPUH/LFDQE/B/PCFPVBE/XLOH/UTMGMW/NTVWZ/SMLBHU/VOOSP/HOEHMAUH/NTPUH/?/UJUHK/NTPUH

That's my transcription of the call. Question mark is the 1 part I couldn't make out

I took another recording to see if I could get the unknown letter. It sounds a lot like "up" or maybe L? There are enough differences that there might be different outputs when called.

Your transcription:
TP/EMOBGXATW/NTPUH/LFDQE/B/PCFPVBE/XLOH/UTMGMW/NTVWZ/SMLBHU/VOOSP/HOEHMAUH/NTPUH/?/UJUHK/NTPUH

Mine (of your recording):
TP/EMOBGXDTW/NTPUH/LMDQE/B/PCFPVBE/XLOH/UTMGMW/NTBWZ/SMLBHU/VLO-P/HOEHMAUH/NTPUH/?/UJUHK/NTPUH

Mine (of my recording):
TP/EMOBGXDTW/NTPUH/LFDQE/B/PCSTDBE/XLOH/UTMGFW/NTBWZ/SMLBHU/VOOSP/HOEHMAUH/NTPUH/?/UJUHK/NTPUH

Some of these differences (like STD/FPV) actually sound like different letters in the two different recordings.

Scratch that, I figured it out. It's connected to the forecast puzzle, but I think sharing it in the open might turn out badly.

PM me for infos. ;D

I copied the video off YouTube and I thought I would post it here but it doesn't seem to want to let me. Is there somewhere else I can put it or does someone else want to copy it and host it somewhere? (I have it as an FLV and a MP4)

It seems that there were other videos in the past but they are now gone from YouTube which means we can't re-analyse them. I am trying to learn the techniques of solving these puzzles and it is difficult when puzzles are completed but it is not explained how they were defeated.

So on the topic of the video, I believe it is referring to the "All about the roundabout" MP3 from the listening station. All that talk about linguistics and how confusing it is and analyzing it. Any thoughts?
